THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. JUNE 19, 1906. GANNON TALKS OPTIMISM Deals Body Blows at Discon tent Taught by Gospel of Despair. COUNTRY GOING FORWARD Everybody Is Prosperous and Only Cause of Discontent Is Belief of Some .That Tbey Do Not Get Their Share. SAYINGS OF SPEAKER CANNON. CHICAGO. June 18. (Special.) It do not require much brains or much Information to be a successful pes simist, Tou could put Into one small room the men who are furnishing the sin ews of war and leading the attempt to discredit the Nation. I don't object to klckera, mind you. but the man that kicks without cause Is a common liar. This talk about the country going to the devil Is the mere ravine of dema gogues. There Is very, little unrest In this country Just now; the people are too busy, too prosperous, to make calamity-howling a success. There never has been so little sue cestlon of a change In the policy of the Government. We need have no fear that Socialism will ever control this country. It is a lie to say that the American people have become commercialized. This Is the most wonderful country In the world, and this Is the most wonderful, successful and the most In teresting time In Its existence. V NEW YORK, June 18. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, In the forthcoming Issue of Pearson's Magazine, deals the "Gospel of Despair'' concerning the present and future state of the country a few body blows that are warranted to elicit heartfelt applause from any decently optimistic American. "The truth Is there Is very little unrest In this country Just now," says Mr. Cannon. "I know how hard a few demagogues are working to discredit the prosperity of the Nation, but the people are too busy, too prosperous, to make calamity howling a success. This country Is not going backward; it is going forward. The people of, the United States, whether on the farms or in the cities, are all doing business at a better profit than ever before. The facts show It, and you can't get away from facts. Sources of Discontent. "There never has been so little sug gestion of a change of policy in the Government. The dissatisfaction in the labor world does not arise from want of employment at a profit that enables the wage-earner to live well and save something, but arises from a belief that the worker Is not getting his share of the profits of production; and the dissatisfaction regarding transportation arises from the' belief, more or less well founded, that the carrier discriminates between shippers. But, in the aggregate, the charges for transportation in the United States are less than elsewhere In the world and have been decreasing through a long period of years. Basis of Our Civilization. "The average man never was so well educated, so free, so well fed, well housed or well clothed. Society never was better balanced than now, nor was the Amer ican Republic ver so well established at home and abroad, or more beloved by its people. ' "Pur civilization rests on the- hustling of the human unit, and when you take away the material benefits which come from Individual effort you destroy civiliza tion. If that be Socialism, there is no danger of a Socialistic America. There Is certainly no effort for Socialism in this country voiced in Congress, and I don't believe there ever will be, so long as we continue to have a government of and by the people. Troubles Due to Rapid Progress. . "I have been hearing predictions of the downfall of the Republic and the enslave ment of the people all my life. These are the mere mouthings of demagogues. - "All ur troubles come from the rapid development of the country. We have been so busy developing It that we were bound to wake up and find that abuses had crept in. The American people have a capacity for self-government, and they will see to It that, without interference from any man or group of men or corpo rations, every existing evil will be reme died." TOOK HIS STOCK WITH GUN John Day CaMIeraiscr Buncoed by i , an Idaho Buyer. VALB. Or., June 18. (Special.) The stockyards at Ontario were the scene of Plots and counter plots Sunday. Joe Combs, one of the main stockralsers of John Day; John Sebrey, a stock buyer, of Caldwell, Idaho, and Handley & Par sons, of Harney County, made the third party to the trouble. Combs sold to John Sebrey a band of his cattle, who agreed " to . turn over to Combs the money for them as soon as he delivered them and had his money for them. Sebrey in turn sold the stock to Handley & Parsons and skipped the country. Joe Combs was loser 3200, and he Immediately took position at the stockyards and with a six-shooter kept the men in charge of the stock from shipping them. The cattle were not shipped and Combs seperated his from the other stock and placed them in a corral of his own. Law yers have been employed and a legal bat tle will follow the bloodless gun play skirmish. PLAX AN ISTERURBAN SYSTKM North Yakima Asked for Franchise Over City Streets. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash..

GOVERNMENT MAY' OWN IT Waterway to Lake Erie Put I'nder Interstate Commission's Rule. Stone Champions Pittsburg Mil lionaires Against Assault. BUSINESS DONE BY SENATE. WASHINGTON, June 18. After an other day devoted largely- to the Lake Erie Ohio River canal bill, the Senate today passed that measure with only 11 votes in the negative. In addition, several bills to which there was no objection received fav orable action. There also was further discussion between Tillman and Hop kins over the resolution of the for mer for an investigation of the ques tion of National bank contributions to political campaigns, which In volved renewed reference to the fail ure of the Chicago National Bank. The session adjourned upon the offi cial announcement of the death of Lester of Georgia- Boat to Carry Supplies to Camps. HOVER. 'Wash., June 18. (Special.) The P. Burns Company has just placed an order in Portland for a 40-horsepower gasoline boat to carry meat to the camps along the Portland & Seattle construction from this point as far south as The Dalles.

(Special. 1 Nine men employed as loggers at the w illamette Pulp & Paper Company's mill failed to return to work tKi after noon because of dissatisfaction with their wages. The men have been receiving J2.25 per day and May 28 asked that their pay be increased to J2.50. The advance not being granted, the men quit work. Stone said he knew nothing of them, but that he did know that the assist ance of capital in very large enter prises was required, "whether its own ers lived in Pittsburg or some other gilded portal of purgatory." Hopes Government Will Own It. He expressed the opinion that in some respects the proposed canal would be a more important enterprise than the Panama CanaL He said he would be pleased to see the Govern ment own it, and ventured the hope that it might be the beginning of a new system of internal Improvements. Patterson said that Stone's amend ment for the Government ownership of the waterways was Just as applic able to Government ownership of the railroads the only harbor of refuge from the extortion of corporations. The bill was then passed, 41 to 11. WASHINGTON, June 18. When the Senate resumed consideration of the Lake Erie oi Ohio River ship canal bill ' today the amendment suggested by Patterson limiting the debt of the canal company to the amount of money paid for stock at par was read. Nelson moved to lay the amendment on the table, and that motion was carried, 30 to 1. Another amendment by Patterson, making the property of the . company subject to state taxation, ws accepted without division. An amendment by Mallory, giving the Interstate Commerce Com mission supervision of rates charged by the canal company, and another by Berry, relieving the United States from all liability on account of the canal, were also accepted. Again Sit on La Follette. Nelson also accepted an amendment by Bailey eliminating the provision for a sinking fund, but a suggestion by La Follette, authorizing the Interstate Commerce Commission to ascertain the value of the canal property, was laid on. the table. Stone expressed surprise that the bill had been made .a party measure by the Democrats, and said that, in asmuch as it was a purely economic question, he would not follow blindly those who would lead in a wrong di rection. Referring to Patterson's mention of the Pittsburg millionaires, INSISTS OX INVESTIGATION Tillman Wants to Know What Banks Gave Campaign Funds. WASHINGTON, June 18. Senator Tillman again today called up his res olution, providing for an investigation of National banks' contributions to po litical campaigns, and also relative to the recent failure of the Chicago Na tional Bank. He said Senator Aldrich had waived aside the resolution on the ground that the Senate had recently passed a bill prohibiting the banks from making enmpaign contributions, but he contended that such action on the part of the Senate was not suffi cient. Believing that the banks were the principal source of revenue of the Republican political committees, he did not believe that the House would pass the bill prior to the election of next Fall. Hence, he still felt the necessity for the Investigation provided for by his resolution. He insisted that the resolution should be retroactive, but confessed that he had little hope In that direction. "The bankers will get an Immunity bath for past offenses." he predicted. Speaking of the Chicago bank failure, Tillman charged that the Controller of the Currency had known for months be fore the failure that the bank had in effect loaned $15,000,000 to its president In violation of law. Senator Hopkins replied that Tillman had been misled by irresponsible Chi cago men, and declared that the South Carolina Senator's "tirade" had proved another illustration of thS fact that "a Jittle learning is a dangerous thing." He charged the South Carolina Senator with a desire to injure the Chicago banks, and to exploit himself. No action was taken by the Senate.

Descending to Escape the Airship Is Caught In Tree and Held for a Time. BINGHAMTON, N. Y., June 18. The balloon containing Julian P. Thomas and Charles Levee, which left New York yes terday evening, landed near South New Berlin this morning at 8:30 o'clock. Dr. Thomas said that the trip was a success in every way and that it would have been possible for them to have gone much further. Dr. Julian P Thomas on his return home tonight gave the following account of the aerial voyage: We started last night from 138th street and went west over the river In a fine breeze and a fairly clear atmosphere. In the region of Little Falls, N. J., we came down to within 200 feet of earth to get our bearings and called to several persons to telephone to my house that we were safe up to that hour, about 7:30. Passing over Hackensack, we heard the feells in the church spires and could see many people on their way to church. In less than an hour afterward we were in ' the heart of a thunder storm, blown steadily back and forth by the air currents, while the lightning toyed about us. The effect of the storm was terrifying. The storm started at 9 o'clock and lasted until 5 this morning. Shortly after 1 o'clock the aeronauts de scended to escape the storm and became caught in a tree, in which they remained for two hours when they cleared and were whirled northward, reaching at one point an altitude of 8000 feet, when both suffered severely from the cold. The balloon descended in a field at 8:30 A. M. The distance covered by the balloon is practically 350 milea and at times an altitude of 8000 feet was attained. Effort Save Woman From Gallows.
